It seemed apropos to craft our entire bullpen out of copies of him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Rogers returned to his debut team on January 23, signing a one-year, $2 million deal and providing left-handed help to a bullpen still foundering since last year\u2019s trade deadline fire sale. The team only has one other active southpaw reliever with MLB experience: Kody Funderburk, from whom Rogers has reclaimed his old number 55 (Funderburk will now wear #57).<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">\u201cWith a full slate of Rogerses in the bullpen, imagine the lack of worry about pitcher exhaustion,\u201d Pohlad said. \u201cOne Rogers blows out his elbow? No problem, we can pop another one out of the tank. It worked for Tom Brady\u2019s dog.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The Brasher Microform website touts its experimental \u201cInner Safe\u201d technology, allowing for DNA reproduction without having to re-age the cloned subject from infancy. Curiously, there is no contact information for the country listed on the website, nor is there any address or location listed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Upon being asked why the Twins did not simply attempt to sign Taylor\u2019s twin brother Tyler in free agency (Tyler signed with the Blue Jays) if they wanted multiple Rogerses in the home bullpen, Pohlad said, \u201cThe cloning partnership was less cost-prohibitive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.twinkietown.com\/satire\/51020\/twins-to-invest-in-cloning-technology-for-complete-taylor-rogers-bullpen\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Twins to invest in cloning technology for complete Rogers bullpen https:\/\/www.twinkietown.com\/satire\/51020\/twins-to-invest-in-cloning-technology-for-complete-taylor-rogers-bullpen Publish Date: 2026-02-04 12:00:00&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":209982,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/platform.twinkietown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/171\/2026\/02\/gettyimages-1330974542.jpg?quality=90&strip=all&crop=0%2C10.747463281286%2C100%2C78.505073437428&w=1200","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-209981","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/209981"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=209981"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/209981\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":209983,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/209981\/revisions\/209983"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/209982"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=209981"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=209981"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=209981"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
